One would think that the liberal race fizzgigs would look at the soon-to-be smoldering ruins of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and want to avoid the humiliation that goes hand-in-hand with lying about racism and funding it when there isn’t enough to go around, but no.
The premier of British Columbia has an additional suggestion for Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, in dealing with U.S. tariffs: stop plans to buy as many as 88 American-made F-35 fighter jets.
Not long after Canada said that it would retaliate against President Trump’s sweeping 50 percent tariff on hundreds of Canadian exports with tariffs of its own, Premier David Eby questioned why Canada would pursue supplying its military with the warplanes.
“When your friend kicks you in the back, one of the first rules is you don’t then go and buy $12 billion of fighter jets from that person,” Mr. Eby said on Tuesday, citing roughly the cost of the first 16 airplanes. “It makes absolutely no sense,” he added.
Former comedian Jimmy Kimmel is currently on a summer hiatus. This comes not long after ABC/Disney announced his contract would be renewed for only a single year. That year is up in May of 2027, Kimmel is closing in on age 60, and now he’s talking about retirement.
U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America, a change he said would take effect immediately.
A White House aide said the order directs the Department of the Interior and Secretary Doug Burgum to make the change.
One of the five Great Lakes of North America, Lake Ontario borders both the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of New York.

After a drone packed with explosives was found near a Ukrainian cargo plane parked at Leipzig/Halle Airport in Germany this month, security camera footage appeared to show the drone had struck the plane’s wing. That the drone failed to detonate seemed only to be luck.
Since then, details have emerged that German lawmakers say indicate a serious attack was planned at the airport, a major cargo hub that is also used by European and NATO military aircraft.

SHAFTER, Calif.—Some 18 years after California voted to launch a bullet train that would travel between San Francisco and Los Angeles in under three hours, the project now costs billions more than planned, is years behind schedule and has yet to lay its first track.
The 2008 ballot measure passed narrowly, 52.7% to 47.3%, kick-starting America’s largest active infrastructure project. A legislative bill said it should be completed by 2020, and the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s initial business plan estimated a cost of $33 billion. After years of legal battles, cost overruns, leadership changes and political fights, the price tag is up to $126 billion, with a high estimate of $231 billion, and it isn’t expected to be fully operational until 2040.
Canada’s next budget bomb is the Alto high-speed rail project
OTTAWA — More than a century and a half ago, China learned a brutal lesson about the strategic power of narcotics.
During the nineteenth-century Opium Wars, British commercial interests, backed ultimately by military power, exploited China’s enormous market for opium. Addiction weakened communities, drained wealth and contributed to political instability. The wars and the unequal treaties that followed became embedded in Chinese historical memory as part of what Beijing still calls its “century of humiliation.”
Google translate from Fdesouche : Caen: Ibrahim I., a Chechen man, drove his car into a bus shelter, killing two people and injuring several others before fleeing the scene. A fight between two groups is believed to be the cause. The victims are reportedly from Egypt, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh.
From DW – France: Car rams crowd at bus stop in Caen
At least two people died and nine others were injured, six of them in life-threatening condition, after a car drove into a crowd in the northwestern French city of Caen on Wednesday.
“At this point we are not assuming a terrorist motive, but the investigation has only just begun,” deputy prosecutor Philippe Leonardo told journalists in the early hours of Thursday.
A former Iranian official now living in Toronto had a “critical” role in helping the Islamic Republic generate revenue needed to fund Middle East terror groups, according to government documents obtained by Global News.
A Canada Border Services Agency report released on Tuesday alleges that as a deputy director in Iran’s Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade, Abbas Omidi, assisted with the regime’s state sponsorship of terrorism.
If America is attacked and WW III breaks out I bet the US nukes Ottawa in the first retaliatory strike.
Dozens of Americans and Canadians are among hundreds of people who are missing following a deadly flash flood and mudslide near the Nepal-Tibet border, Nepali authorities say.
More than 350 people are so far known to have died, according to the authorities.
The US State Department said it was aware that Americans were impacted by Wednesday’s floods but did not provide numbers.

In the wake of Ottawa’s forceful response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war, the White House on Wednesday said Canada “is joined only by the People’s Republic of China in choosing retaliation over negotiation.”
It’s a strange parallel for Mr. Trump’s team to draw – given Beijing fought the United States to a draw last year, winning concessions and breathing room to further shore up its economy against future U.S. pressure – but one that has also been made in China itself.
Iran’s Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has all but vanished from public view, fuelling fevered speculation in Tehran that the Islamic Republic is concealing the truth about who is really running the country.
Mojtaba was named Iran’s new supreme leader on March 8, a week after joint US-Israeli airstrikes killed his father Ali Khamenei on February 28.
He was inside the compound in Tehran when it was struck. Sources close to Mojtaba’s inner circle later told Reuters that the blast left his face disfigured and caused a serious injury to one or both of his legs.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has thrown his support behind Prime Minister Mark Carney’s retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., as tensions between Canada and the Trump administration continue to escalate.
Speaking at a media conference in Vaughan, Ont., on Wednesday, Ford said Carney had done the “right thing” by walking away from a deal with the U.S., and that the PM has his “full support in standing up for our country” by introducing retaliatory tariffs. He added that Canada is “going to fight like we’ve never fought before against President Trump.”
There aren’t many reasons for Americans to visit Moscow today. Red Square lacks the glamour that the first Pizza Hut and McDonald’s gave it in those days of optimism and openness that followed the Soviet collapse. Visitors today only go to carry a warning.
In 2021, Bill Burns, then head of the CIA, cautioned the Kremlin that the full-scale invasion of Ukraine would be a disaster. It would fail and would leave President Putin’s regime weaker. He was right.
According to the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Russia to warn against attacking a NATO country, which out of all the speculative scenarios in the information-space since the meet, was the most likely.
